15. "RE: Irresponsible Speculation"
In response to message #8
 
  
I take solace in the fact that in UF, at least, the Thalmor are merely racial supremacists and ultra-nationalists, and not an outright threat to the universe. Yes, because of Aurbis' horrendously complicated metaphysics, they (probably) want to unmake the universe, for religious reasons, no less. Thankfully, in UF, the metaphysics is not nearly so convoluted, and the Thalmor are vastly outnumbered by the rest of the universe, and don't have the means. (Though someone seems to be destabilizing reality, over the course of the games, in a measurable way.)

You forgot that Ulfric was at one time, and may still be, in the Thalmor's pocket.

Talos/Lorkhan is fascinating, by the way.

More generally, Aurbis is one of the few fictional settings I've seen which breathes authenticity. Bethesda's worldbuilding here is top-notch. That said, I'm a bit disappointed with how they handled Alduin. He's supposed to be Eating the World, isn't he? That wasn't really depicted.

Obscure and deuterocanonical Elder Scrolls lore is one of my interests. What of it?
